Show I What Should Be I A WRITER in an Eastern great journal tries to explain the reason the states south of the United States mistrust our country. They think that natural land hunger will compel our Republic to eventually encroach upon and pos-H pos-H slbjy absorb them. W A few people in those states have been talk- K ing that way ever since our war with Mexico, three score and ten .years ago. , But if they M were rounded up and counted, they would be a I pitiable few and most of them would be found m to be of that contingent of loafers who intend to fl live on the labor of their poor countrymen, by keeping their countries going from one revolu- tion to another. When our country redeemed Cuba, could a vote of all the decent people there have been fl obtained, the majority favoring the annexation fl of the Island as a sovereign state of our Union, fl -would have been overwhelming. When our coun-fl coun-fl try lowered her flag there and sailed away, it fl should have been notice enough to all the states jfl south of us, to all the world, indeed, that we B coveted nothing, of the outside world but its fl friendship. fl There is another trouble the men to the fl south of us are mostly all liars and naturally B. judge other people by themselves. fl But what our country did in guba should B have been an object lesson that the most ignor- fl ant depraved could have understood. B But there is a duty upon our government fl which is so plain that it is a wonder that it fl was not impressed upon our so-called statesmen fl long ago. We have received so many immi- fl grants from the old, world during the past twenty- fl five years that they have taxed our assimilative fl power beyond its strength. fl We see that now in the disposition to in- B augurate strikes, to favor incendiary changes in fl our government, in the disposition to eat un- B earned bread, in everything that blatherskites K can invent and call upon the rabble to support. fl It is the dregs of this foreign, unassimilated S element that supplies the backing for the schemes fl of ' such scoundrels as Haywood and the other Jfl knaves who would destroy our government for B the plunder they might be able to loot from the B To stand off this element, that has been grow-B grow-B ing ever since the days of Her Most, we should B have been cultivating the most intimate and B friendly commercial relations with the south B American states, loaning them money, helping B them build roads and seeking to win their con-B con-B fidence in every honorable way, and at the same B time diverting a part of the immigration that B has been pouring in upon us to the cheap and B fertile lands of those southern countries where B tney could have been at the same time helping B the countries they settled in and making for them-B them-B selves homes. B The need of that will soon be more urgent B than ever. We have received but few immigrants B in the past two years less than 200,000, but the jfl war in Europe must stop in the near future, and B then what will the millions of ruined men there fl do? They will turn Instinctively to the United BBflBBBBBHBBBBBBIIHBBfll States. Then what will happen here when this horde comes, into direct competition with our own laborers, who even now are not too well " satisfied sat-isfied with their condition? There should have been a line of great Amerr ican steamers plying between New York and . Pernambuco, Bahia, 3tio, Santos, Montevideo and Buenos Aires for years past. Behind all those ports there are plenty of cheap, rich lands, which the governments of those countries would be glad to have cultivated and all those governments govern-ments are liberal and anxious for the industrial races of the world to cpme and help them build up their countries. To turn the tide that way, would be the greatest possible benefit to our own country. The situation is so plain that wo cannot see why our government did not long ago see it and begin the work to make it effective. Why Strikers? THEY are perfectly natural and come from natural causes. A hundred years ago the manufacturer owned his own factory. He mingled with his employees every day, was solicitious for them and their families, but worked them twelve or fifteen hours a day. But they looked upon him as a little providence from whom they obtained the money on which to live, and there was mutual respect and friendship. Now, if anywhere it looks as though a great commercial entertrise would pay, half a dozen capitalists cap-italists make up the needed capital to start with. Some gentleman whose chiefest interest is to please his. employers, is put in charge. He has no special concern or human interest in the employees. With him men are like other pieces of machinery which run for a while and then wear out. Ho invites no confidence with them, seldom knows aught of them personally or of their personal affairs. He is too busy, his accountability account-ability is simply to the other employees who are above him the owners are a far-off, intangible intang-ible power impossible to approach. After the eight hours are worked the employees are not very tired and stroll down town, there they hear someone in a public hall talking, and they stroll in and listen. He is telling of the woes of the poor under the iron bands of masters, and winds up with a proposition to the effect that to call this land a land of Liberty is a falsehood,' that it really is but a land of masters and slaves. They go again the next night and hear explained ex-plained that all things come of labor, but in. this land the master draws all the rewards, the laboring labor-ing man only the blanks. They cannot see that the speaker is a blatherskite, blather-skite, that if his hands were thoroughly washed, they would show that he had never performed an honest day's work in his life, and after a while they become dissatisfied and begin to grumble, they belong to a union, and the officers offic-ers of the union want to be popular with the lay members. They begin to agitate some change which the union should demand. They know nothing of the cares and responsibilities of the owners, no more than the owners do of the wants of their BiHKIBBBBHIBHHBiSI employees, and so, all heart being eliminated, . fl they grow to hate the owners, the owners begin Sl to wish that they could exchange their employees B for machinery. The next thing is a strike. It , all comes because of that heart to heart aliena- B tion between employer and employee. fl Democratic Economy jH A LITTLE short dispatch t.le other morning M stated that the congressional appropriations H thus far aggregateu $1,700,000,000. That is a re- IB minder that one of the very funniest things that IH has ever been produced in this careless old coun- B try of ours Is the plank in every Democratic plat- M form, state or national, which denounces the ex- jB travagance of the opposition and calls upon the H people to support the party of strict business H economy in the administration of public affairs. iB That is one of the oldest tricks of the Democratic 'fl party. More than two score years ago there was 'B a Republican administration of affairs in the B great state of New York. It left its books all B balanced and a clean sheet for the Democrats who jH succeeded It. The incoming governor was Sam- B uel J. Tilden. He and his party ran the govern- B ment for a term, and then asked the people to H keep the party of economy in power. But the H people in the Empire state are never sure how 'fl an election is going, for they are never sure which B way Tammany Hall is going to vote. A Republi- " fl can administration came in and then the books V H of the outgoing crowd were examined. They es- H tablished in a day that the secret of Mr. Tllden's B economy was that nothing Jiad been paid except B what the law absolutely commanded. It was be- fl hind on many salaries; on appropriations to B public institutions; on all contracts; on what was , B due to public works every possible thing that M could be staved off. B The whole expenditures for which tho Demo- B crats had made the state liable for exceeded those M of their predecessors. It required its successors 1 to pay its debts and still Mr. Tilden ran for presi- H dent and the Democratic slogan that year was H "Tilden and Reform." H The burden of the campaign cry when Mr. H Cleveland was candidate the first tiniQ, was, on H the part of the Democrats, the frauds, stealings ,fl and extravagances of the Republicans who had H been so long in power. The Democrats won and, 'H began to gather in Washington. H Old Zack Chandler was in the treasury depart- jB ment. He met a company of the Democrats just H before the inauguration, and said to them: "So soon as possible, please Bend on your invest!- B gating commitees. Try and have some one on fl each committee who can read and write and add H and subtract, not as a necessity, but merely to fl expedite business." fl All that generation of Democrats called old fl Zack a bulldozer and brute, but they found no fl mistakes, no frauds, no stealings. H We all recall the Democratic platform of four fl years ago. It was strong on the economy that fl was to be if the party won. It did win. It has fl seven months yet to serve, but the appropriations for this congress for twenty months foot up fl $1,700,000,000. fl H Deducting tho preparedness schedule and then L it is far in excess of all expectations. Of course B the people understood that the party had been a Hk long time out in tho cold; that it was both hungry A and thirsty for spoils; moreover, that it as a A- party, was not made up of expert accountants HT and expected some generous stealing, hut why V on every occasion does tho party proclaim its m public integrity and horror of the extravagance H of their opponents? Still it is an old trick and B may be hereditary. In the New Testament there H is mention of a particular class whose represen- B tatives were want to stand on the corners and H thank God they were not like the other fellows. . V When Mr. Wilson calls congress together and H makes his "speech from the throne," has he never H reminded us of that class in Jerusalem? M The World's Work H HTHEY are doing things in the outside states. H The Nation's Business Magazine has a two- M page illuminated proof of tho statement. The H first is a picture of 12,000 of the 20,000 men cm- M ployed in one automobile factory. Tho second is Hj a partial view of the 1,800 cars they turn out H H The third is an interior view of a typewriting H machine factory so taken as to give the impres- M sion that the works extend to the ends of the m earth) which we suspect they do. Hj The fourth is a view of a mighty conveyor H unloading bananas at New Orleans, and watching H it one begins at last to expect that at its next Hj swing it will tear up by the roots some Central H American state and dump it on the wharf. H The next picture goes back to the farm, a H quiet pastoral picture, but a close look shows H thirty horses, working six abreast hauling a com- H bination harvester at work in eastern Washington. H The next picture shows "a fisherman's luck" H a.millioa salmon wriggling a protest against be- H ing canned. H The next is perhaps the most impressive of all M the group. It is of a load of cotton on the Mis- H sissippi. The outlines indicate about a million of V- bales on a boat Only the outlines of the boat H are seen, tho cotton gives the impression that it H is going out to clothe the world. H The next picture is of an aerial fleet in process H of construction at Buffalo, N. Y. The world is H too small, the country is about to prove up on its H claim to the clouds and the air. H Another picture shows a market morning in H New York where food for the day i3 being pur- H chased for the millions of the modern Babylon. H Another most striking picture shows in a little Hf way where the food comes from. It is a traction H engine hauling fifty plows in a South Dakota field. H To one who, when a boy, was want to plow an H acre and a half a day with three Morgan horses B abreast, and when the plow point caught a buried H boulder, hung a moment then slipped off and M caused the plow handle to strike the boy in the M side and cause him to wonder if a little profan- H ity was not permissible on such an occasion, this M Dakota field seen is most interesting. M The center picture is of a Connecticut muni- M tion factory working twenty-four hours daily. .The H picture is clouded by the night and its own smoke H as it should be, for in a world where there is so H much for man to do, what kind of judgment is it H that sets in array millions of men to slaughter H each other? Is it not about time for civilized man to learn H that after all, the pen is in j.iuids entirely great, H mightier than the sword? Is the trouble that H men not entirely great are given the pen? We H suspect it is, and that it is time for tho world's H great journalists to enter into a league to work H in accord and make another great war impos- slble. H Utah Is not represented in this picture, but it I should have been, The legend beneath it should H have read: I "You all work to convert what you have into money. Lands are tilled, the sea is explored, the rivers are vexed to bear your products to places where they can bo sold. Look on this picture pic-ture and see how it is when man in earnest storms tho mountains and sets great machinery at work, not to find something to sell, but out of the sullen sul-len mountains to wrest the thing you give your products for and to add to the world's store of that material for which the whole world is struggling." strug-gling." War's Wreck In France HP HE French minister of tho interior has made a careful estimate of tho damage that has been inflicted upon France by 'the Germans since their invasion two years ago. t The figures cover those portions of Franco that tho, Germans have held and those they are still holding. The minister has just made public the figures. The data collected from 754 towns and communes com-munes (villages) gives 16,000 buildings destroyed and 25,5G4 partially wrecked. In tho department of the Marne, 15,100 buildings build-ings were damaged and 3,499 destroyed. In Pas de Calais 13,542 buildings were damaged dam-aged and G.GGO completely destroyed. In 148 communes more than 5 per cent of all the buildings were destroyed and in seventy-four communes more than 80 per cent of the buildings were wrecked. In 428 communes 221 city halls, 379 school buildings, 331 churches and 30G other public buildings were wrecked or badly damaged. Of public monuments sixty were destroyed. Of the edifices destroyed fifty-six are designated desig-nated as historical. When Germany crushed France in 1870-'71, she exacted from France two provinces and 1,000,000,-000 1,000,000,-000 in money. If the Allies win in tho present war, what will France naturally claim as a fair Indemnity from Germany? Or, reversed, what would Germany claim? Those two questions give an idea of what difficulties diffi-culties await tho settlement for tho war's destruction. de-struction. What will Russia claim? What Great Britain? What Belgium? What Italy? We can anticipate Russia's claim, but no ono can anticipate the claims of the others. According to the record when in the beginning all was chaos and darkness tho Creator said: "Let there be Light! and there was light." Contemplating the wreck in Europe, the chaos and the darkness, it looks as though no power less than the Creator can command light. A Dream That Must Materialize OLD KING DAVID in one of his high songs of praise to the Creator, said: "For he knows our frame and remembereth that we are dust." After three thousand years that comes back to us, and the mystery of our being here is just as great as ever. David had been a shepherd boy, a soldier, a law giver and even then was king. He had sounded all tho heights and depths of this human existence; he realized how brief was the span of the longest human life; he knew to what heights the human mind can climb; he believed that he was in accord with the Infinite, and yet that ho was, after all, but dust. So it has been from the beginning and the only change that has come has been a defining of the belief that it is only this frame that is dust, that tho Infinite would not permit immortal thoughts, such as come to men to go out extinguished in the night of death. We watch the worm and after a while it casts off its repulsive shell and lo, a radiant butterfly rises exultingly on illuminated wing? and flies to its home among the flowers. Is not that typical? Cannot man, too, cast off his worn-out shell and rise to tho glories he dreamed of before his wings had grown? Tho Hebrew idea of heaven was material. There would be streets of gold, walls of jasper, gates of pearl and trees bearing all manner of fruits. The Indian's idea of heaven made it a vast and lovely hunting ground, with hills and streams and eternal summer. Why does lettered and unlettered man alike cling to a belief of an after life of joy? Is it not that there must be a spark of heaven fire in all of us? A spark that shines in our souls "as shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew"? A spark that shines above the depth, shines on ' ' , and on forever? i The People's Will THE war makers across the sea should keep wary eyes to leaward. They are driving the armies on to death. Did they ever stop to think that those armies have really no grievance against the other armies, that they are killing and that are killing them in return? They know how glad those men in the ranks would be to know that the era of murder had passed. Are they not afraid that a few inspired men in the ranks may rise up and call a halt? This brings at once the thought that no future war should ever be fought among civilized peoples peo-ples without those peoples demand it. Our war with Spain was the people's war and a public demand crowded it upon congress and over President McKinley's plea to wait. It was because tho cruelties of Spain to the Cubans had become intolerable in our people's minds. And cannot that thought, amplified and reduced re-duced to form be woven into a statute in an international in-ternational code for the guidance of the nations and in the interest of mercy and peace? We believe that in the old code there was a provision that differences between nations should be submitted to arbitration before a war should be declared. But no power in Europe was impressed enough with it to heed it when the war note was finally sounded. But the people were not consulted. Will they not have to before another great war is sprung? When peace finally comes and the people are permitted to survey the wreck and to estimate the gains and losses, will not a determination grow in their minds that never, again shall like horrors be wrought until the men in the ranks and in the pursuits of peace shall have been consulted. Storm Centers THERE are capes and promontories on the ocean shores which seem to be storm centers, where the winds have their caves and are constantly con-stantly rushing out from them to engage in battle the angered seas which in wrath are with their surges lashing the trembling shores. There are places on the earth's surface which seem, likewise, like-wise, storm centers. Since -before the Turk obtain ob-tain both shores of the Dardanelles, that hds been a storm center. Tho Persians, the Egyptians, tho Greeks and Romans fought over its possession; then the crusaders with such soldiers as Saladln and Richard the lion-hearted. In modern days a dozen nations have fought around and over it, and now the people, on its shores are waiting and watching and wondering what is to be its fate in the coming few months. The gUns of half a dozen nations are almost within with-in hearing; battleships are hovering in the offings off-ings and fiery meteors armed for war are poising in the air above. Utah has been a storm center from the first. The winds of superstition and ignorance and fear and hate have their caves here and though tho skies are fair, the sunbeams sweet and flow-ers flow-ers bloom in profusion, no one" knows when out ; from their caves the winds will rush and rock the state as ships -are rocked on stormy seas. Long ago a man came here whom his followers follow-ers declared was a prophet, seer and rev,elator. .His prophesies were not remarkable, but he not unfrequently gave utterance to a great truth. On one occasion, in a conspicuous place, he declared that "we have some of the greatest and smoothest smooth-est liars in the world right here." , Despite the confusion that has often reigned here, that race of liars has not only been perpetuated, per-petuated, but they have increased in numbers and in volume. And they not unfrequently justi- fy their 'great accomplishment by pleading that i they must live their religion. And though the winds blow and the boat rocks, like the sea eagle, they seem to exult in the confusion around them and, scream defiance to all the world. The Automobile Craze THERE are 3,500,000 automobiles in this country coun-try that are valued at about $2,000,000,000. In 1898-'99 this country, which had been almost - prostrate so far as business was concerned for several years, received something over $2,000,000,-000 $2,000,000,-000 for food from the world outside that was starving. T Now if that amount transformed the land then, what effect will the absorption of that amount by a few firms be produced? An eastern great newspaper before us says tens of thousands of farmers have purchased automobiles au-tomobiles and a good many of them have mortgaged mort-gaged their homes to buy them. Formerly those farmers raised horses and sold them for fair -prices which was nearly all profit. They ,did not accumulate money very fast even then. Now they do not raise horses for the demand for horses has so fallen that there is no . . profit in raising common horses. But they buy autos and gasoline to run them. What is to be the outcome for such farmers as mortgage their homes to make that purchase? And what is to be the ultimate effect on farm labor? "Will not such farmers each try to get along with one hired man less? Before the receipt of that vast sum from abroad in 1898-'99, the farmers kept their boys and girls out of school to do the work on the farm, not being able to employ hired help. , ' This caused hundreds of thousands of those boys and girl to rush away from home so soon as they reached maturity to the cities to live by their wits, as their homes had become intoler-' able. All the men who were making any money in those days were the interest-gatherers. Having Hav-ing no other place to invest their money they built up one city after another prematurely. That , was why in the mighty depression that whole row of northern cities from Buffalo, New York, to beyond Minneapolis, Minn., took on their abnormal ab-normal and premature growth, and in which the boys and girls from the profitless farms lost themselves. Is that history in a way to be repeated soon, when as is predicted and expected there will be one automobile for every twenty-five persons? r This is not to try to discourage people who are able to buy automobiles. They arc a great Convenience, of vast utility and real luxuries. i But the farmer who mortgages his home to buy an -automobile is crazy and in the event of a national depression, or a failure of his crop, or , either of a dozen not infrequent calamities, will lose his home. The Great West High School O'NE good feature of the national campaign is, that it is bringing both presidential candidates out "f their eastern environments and giving them at least a glimpse of the big west. It will give them both some new ideas of the real maj esty of the Great Republic. Mr. Wilson prats a little, but he will come. It will impress them with the truth that while the thoughts, pursuits and purposes of the men of the west are diametrically different from much of the east, at least on the surface, thero are no better or brighter or more cordial and brave men in all the world than the race that from the first have been framing states out of the wilderness and building the temples to peace and progress in the west. Coming from all the states they were early forced to discard the provincialism that, whether they know it or not, hedges the people of the east around and causes each in his little section to secretly believe that he is close by the enlightened world's center. Nature will do her part to educate these two candidates. The mountains uprear their sentinel heights in a most impressive way in the west. In Washington (Rainier, iSt. Helens and Adams will nod to them; the Colombia from the Dalles down is about the most impressive of all rivers, and if the crest of Hood is in view they will both have to doff their chapeaux before it. The Willamette and her valley and surrounding is a very splendor of the earth; if they cross the Siskiyous by daylight, day-light, their forests will make clear to them why man, before he learned to build temples made the columns of the trees their temple in which to worship. And amid them old Shasta lifts up his crest and if still crowned with snow will cause them once more to doff their hats. Then San Francisco is altogether wonderful. Three score years ago it was but a hamlet; it became a great city, then the earthquake and the fire spent their forces upon it and wrecked it, but it is again great and if the distinguished visitors- listen, they may recall the words of Benton, Ben-ton, as, pointing to the west, he exclaimed: "This is the way to the Indies." As he spoke, from where he stood there were two thousand miles of wilderness between him and where they will be standing, which has since vanished away, and now the ocean that broke at their feet is filled with murmurs brought from the orient. Coming back by the desert, they may grasp the idea that the desert with its forbidding face was in the long ago stationed with its desolation to guard treasures richer than had over been dreamed of until the time should be ripe and the right race should come to woo and win them. It is full time that the two school masters took a course in the high school of our great west. As A Borrower WHEN Great Britain bullies our country, opens its mails, boycotts its citizens; stands off the notes sent in protest by our government, by other notes, calling up impossible precedents, evading serious questions and placing immense emphasis on trifles; patrols our coasts with warships, war-ships, occasionally sending one into our waters on a snooping expedition and practices all the arts that she has acquired through live hundred years of prowling on the seas; she is happy. But when she wants to borrow little dabs like $050,000,000 that hurts her in more ways than one. She hates to promise to keep the interest squared at regular intervals and after a while to take up the principal. She is accustomed to loan all the world money on her own terms and making the borrowers think that she does it because she loves them, and it has been a pleasant life to her, especially since Mr. Cobden pulled through his measure of "Industrial Freedom" for the world's trade and since the placers of Eastern Australia, the quarts of Western Australia and of South Africa have beon pouring out their riches. Now to agree to pay interest and principal on large sums when times improve, and more suckers are being born every day, that hurts. It hurts John Bull's pocket, the most sensitive part of his system, H but the real hurt, after all, is to his pride. To il accept such a favor from outsiders, from nations il that he has been carrying in red ink, while the ' centuries have been unrolling is most humiliat- iH Still there are compensations; ho will have ll a chance to prefer the 'bankers plea to customers 1 whose securities are not too solid, and tell them H how inuch.he would like to oblige them, but the H truth is "I am borrowing myself." ' A H But John will pull through and, after a little will be doing business at the old stand. , H A Damnable Invention M '"PHERE is a motor truck hauling rock out near H the east bench that is a terror of the earth. 1 If the government sent the same order of ma- H chines to, the border it is no wonder that Villa H and his brother bandits took to the hills. A man jH who could sleep in the trenches would go crazy H before it passed. H When its approach is heralded from a mile away delicate ladies ibelt on their revolvers. They H have not shot the motor engineer but they will ' just so soon as their courage gathers a little more H strength. It has more noises and all of the in- famous kind than we ever heard combined be- H fore. It rattles, it clatters, it crushes, it shrieks, M it squeaks, it brays, it sighs and groans and then j repeats itself until strong men shudder and wo- M men, between unuttered anathemas, ask why they flH are compelled to live in such a neighborhood. It H is the ne l)lus ultra of all munitions designed to H annoy mankind. On Wednesday last, at 4 a. m., H it passed. Ten minutes later a thunderstorm H burst overhead and the thunder seemed a lullaby H under which people fell asleep. A Sign Of Demoralization H T T is clear that Austria, . at least, is growing H very weary of the war. The feeling of the H people behind the armies we have no means of H knowing, but from a single fact, judge the feel- H lng in the army. And we only judge that by H the number of prisoners that are being taken. H In the last few weeks one Russian general has H taken more prisoners than he has men in his H own army. This indicates that the impression IH is growing that they are fighting and dying for H nothing, and that it is time to quit. This is the H more apparent when we reflect that, man to man, H they are equal or superior soldiers to the iRus- H sians from the east or the Italians on- the south, H and ought to give the northern Teutonic power H more anxiety than any defeat along the long H battle front. H A demoralized army is like an automobile H with all four tires punctured. H P OR forty years after the first comers arrived H in Utah there was not much progress and a H great many heart-burnings. jH In the twenty years since, the state has been H transformed and many sincere friendships have H been cultivated. Is it not queer that a few men H would like to see the old methods restored? H THE late political conventions in Utah are H reminders of a story told by a locomotive H engineer who ran a locomotive over the first rail- H road built in Indiana. As he told it, he stopped H for wood on the edge of a forest one evening in H the gloaming. While the stoker and brakeman M wdro throwing on the wood he took an oil can H and went forward to lubricate his machine. mM Just then two Yahoos drew out of the wood H3 and stoppofl a few feet distant to look at the H train. F nttiiy one said: "Master, bo that a lo- M comotivo?" The next question was, "Be you the M engineer?" M Being answered in the affirmative he waited a M H .moment, tlicn turning to his companion ho said: , H "Jake, it don't take much of a, man to mako a H engineer, do it?" THE productiveness of Utah has not heen half well enough exploited. In some states tile B land is so poor, the climate so severe that it H requires years of study and practice and, in ad- H dition,a reputation has to be established before H a man can aspire to high office. In .Utah it re- H quires neither education, reputation, natural abil- H ity or acquired accomplishments. The soil is so H rich here, the air so rare that a man can rise in H the morning, stupid as a jackass, dull as a H ground-hog and uncouth as a steam roller, and go H 'to bed at night perfectly fitted for any position, H from a, presidential elector to ambassador to the B 'court of St. Cloud. AFTER Byron wrote Childe Harold, he re- marked that he "awoke one morning to find B himself famous." B Byron exhausted a good deal of time and a B world of labor on Childe Harold. B v That is the difference between England and B TJtah. In the former it requires good blood, work B and genius to bring fame. Here fame goes out B 'to find all the material' it needs on the bushes B and in rutebaga patches. THE old story tells how on a wager a Mlssour- ian ate a crow, and later remarked that he H "could eat crow but that he didn't hone after it." B Mr. Glen Miller has taken charge of the Re- M publican campaign and Mr. Harry Joseph is heart- M ily supporting the whole ticket. HISTORY is prone to repeat itself. A Tennes- see man was elected a Democratic congress- H man. He remained in Washington a year. On B -returning home his neighbors gathered around H him and asked him to tell his experience. Said H he: "It is this way: When I first got into the H house of representatives and looking around won- P 'dered how I got there. After about six months I H looked around again and wondered how the h 1 H the other fellows got there." |
